What this work involves
Check flatness, moisture and available height. Flooring affects doors, skirting, stairs and heating. Coordinate these junctions before ordering.
- Substrate and preparation
- Heights and transitions
- Material and use
- Underfloor heating coordination
- Skirting, thresholds and maintenance
Use the following design considerations when coordinating this service with a wider project. Agree which parts apply to your request.
Defer vulnerable final finishes until investigation and disruptive repairs are complete.
What the drawing needs to explain
Create a phase drawing with three colours: repair now, improve later and investigate first. Mark where phases meet, such as roof edges, service routes and finished floors.
How to review the result
Check both completed work and preparations for the next phase. Record which connections are deliberately temporary and when they will be reassessed.
Cost factors for this service
Removal, repairs, levelling, material and details determine the total.
Bring this to the discussion
Photographs, known floor construction and measurements at doors and transitions.
Questions about the work
Can a new floor go over the existing one?
It depends on stability, moisture, adhesion, height and system requirements. Have the substrate assessed first.
